Oh Gosh

...my present expenditure has reached 400 Sing Dollars for the month. That is...Bad News...because it means I am not only able to save 300 pathetic punny dollars for the months of July. I wonder what I have been spending on. Have not spend much buying anything or shopping. Most of the money went down my stomach. Food, Drinks, entertainment. It cost me a bomb. Must really learn to control my expenditure from now on all I will soon turn a beggar. I think I can forget about all the things I intend to buy in August.August...Haiz...August...Time flies...Soon, It will be September and then...Haiz....
A short entry to publicise my laments and the whimps of Kelvin. On off tomorrow, so I guess I maybe stick my ass at home and not go out at all least I start spending again...So sad....

hmm...long long time

Been a long long time since I last blogged. Slacking in I-Net room right now, with drooping eyes and a sleepy head. I guess i am beginning to lose interest in this blogging thing. Not that motivated to write anymore.
Been to sentosa last sunday, much to my dad's disagreement. He haven't raised his voice at me for a long long time. Whats really disappointing was the trip to sentosa. It rain. yes it RAINED and we did nothing at all. If not for the fact that I applied for Islander Pass that day, I will be ....%$@$%&^@#. Still haven't found a pair of surf shorts to my liking. Think I will wait for my next pay before I go on a hunt for items on my To-Buy list. Heh. At the present rate I am spending, i willprobably end up quite short of savings.
Haha. Last sunday, while strolling along the beautiful beaches of off-shore singapore, Ray passed a comment which really sent me into a state of shock. Tummy. He said I have developed a tummy. Gosh. Gosh. What the ****. How could it be!!!??? Someone tell me he was joking. haiz. Must have been the beer. Eversince then, I have called it quits with Beer...well 2 days to be exact and decided to add a hundred situps to my daily training regime.Never will I allow beer, food and sloth rally the eight nations into a single union. In chinese (Ba Guo Lian Jun)No!!!!!
Time really just flies by. Without even knowing, rain has been back for about 2 weeks and yes I haven't been paying much attention to her. Hmm...cause for guilt? I don't know. Nonchalence seem to have work things out rather nicely over the past few months. No further discussions on this is encouraged.
It rained heavily early this morning. And I loved it. In a dreamy state, I barely remember the melody of the torrents and a momentary glace out of the window. If only all aspects of life were like the rain:Beautiful. Yet such things come and go. Don't they?
Sentimental? Emotional? Hmm... Seems like little Kelvin have changed quite alot. No longer the cold stone gargoyle with a devilish being within. Or was it just a matter of coming out from the dark clouds and soaring happily like a sparrow again?
Am I happy with what I have and what I am now?Kelvin himself knows not... ...

All about morale

I went back to camp after a long 4 days break on wednesday night. Was expecting myself to study a little before I sleep but it turns out I was too tired and too low in mood to do anything. The few days back at home was very much a roller coaster of emotions. Don't really feel like discussing about it.
Thursday was all hot and sunny initially. So I had sprays of sun tan lotion all over me before I even started with changing the track pads. Speaking of which, changing 154 track pads manually is really a killer. Theres no better way to understand the agony than giving it a try. Then it started to rain. Rain. Rain...Haiz... Was all wet. Thankfully, my boots didn't get soaked. Still,it was hell of an experience. My muscles suffered cramps all day long. By the time we got back to camp, I was dead beat. Hence, another non-constructive day went by.
Friday. I woke up with the knowledge that my combat vehicle is due for some serious servicing. Thats adding on to the fact that we have got OVM stock take to settle and I haven't finished changing my NDP vehicle's track pad. Haiz. Another tiring day went by after some working in the rain. It wasn't that bd afterall. I always enjoyed watching the rain torrent down while sitting on the hull of my BX. Its quite a cool feeling. Especially when a breeze sends raindrops splattering on m face. Such moments of serenity are really hard to come by.Yet, amidst the enjoyment, a tinge of unhappiness lingers in the back of my mind. Whatever. It isn't very manly to whin.
Friday night, lowloading as usual. After that, We went for supper...oops. Gotta bookin. To be continued.

Haiz...

Monday night
Had a great time

Tuesdays afternoon
What a waste of time

Tuesdays night
Only the "Pathetic" downs his sorrow

Wed afternoon
Willow in plight

Wed night?
Haiz...or just go forth and be a man

What the fuck!?

Slow Motion

Somehow it has taken a couple of minutes for the new post page to load. Blogspot must have been experiencing some heavy traffic!?
Been only few days since I last blogged. Not much time to spare for such leisure activities these days. The thought of blogging dawned on me last night. However, the temptation to just go and sleep was too strong for me to resisit. Can you imagine this, I haven't spent a night on my bed in a month!!! Those familiar with my room should know how great it feels, especially with lush music playing in the background. Boy! My room rocks.
Woke up early today to buy newspaper and spent an hour reading more articles than usual. No, it is not because I have got more time to read at home. Its simply due to the fact that i was pissed with the sudden slurred speech so i kept reading till it was ok. What happen next is even more out of the norm. I went for breakfast with my mom. Haven't done that in a long time too. And today, I realised that age has caught up with her.Haiz...No comments on this.
I went for driving after that. As expected, its prety screwed up because the last time I drove was at least 1 and a half months ago. Its amazing how I didn't get involved in an accident. Well, not that I would want one. For those who still have not got the news, Nick Pang just got this driving license today. I ought to put in more time and effort if I were to pass the first time round. I still gotta wait till October. Came how to finish watching Alfie, study, pump and relax. Such opportunities are hard to come by these days.
Last saturday marked the NE show. It was one hell of a great experience. Tens of thousands of primary 5 kids all dressed in red brought life to Padang. It was a show,not just a rehearsal for us. I felt so proud that day because there was just so many peoplethere watching; so many camera flashes; loud cheers. Nothing can quite describe how happy and proud I was. Next up will be the preview.
Went to guojun's house to play mahjong yesterday and it was great fun. For the first time, I Ting si san yao. But someone just had to end it!!! Tried to resist the idea of drinking but somehow I find myself drinking Cordon Bleu and some white wine Damn, I should stop drinking. Haven't had dinner with my brothers in a long time so we went to Bukit Timah Market for some talk cock session. Wong said this(and I think the whole world should get to read this):
"you know what it means if you go out with someone who looks 50% like Ling XiangPing? It means that half of the people around will think that you are going out with Ling XiangPing"
What the F**k? Can't believe this is coming out of the all intelligent Guojun? Neither can I. But its quite true though. haha. Anybody got a friend who looks 25% like Elva Xiao please introduce.
Ok, gotta go out soon before I am late. Having dinner at Holland V.Yeah! yeah! Shuqi is coming back so my liquor collection is gonna be updated as well. But thats not the point. I kinda miss her. But, damn...I feel stuck on how to feel and react. And she better don't come across this...

Smiles all over

I went back to camp last sunday thinking, for the third time in army: What comes out of NS? Whats the point of trying to be a good leader, trying to be proficient in military skills and being all enthusiastic. Honestly, I see it as a duty to serve the country. Singapore will not being enjoying the present peace if not for the effort of every young singaporean serving their "term". Still, the question remains unchanged: What comes out of it?
Since last month, I have adopted the mentality of doing things in passing. Do my job, fulfil my tasks and call it a day. Such an attitude does not make a commander but, so? Bearing in mind once again my objectives and focus in life, I emphasize more on personal development these days. With great military discipline, I spend time reading the newspaper everyday, practising my speech techniques, improving my language proficiency, working out and studying. At the end of the day, all these will pay off. I will be of help to my future as I step into the corporate world. On the contrary, what value will AI Section Crew Drills have a year or two later.

~I have a vision of what a successful man is like, and I will work towards this vision. Nothing comes with effort.~

Much to my great surprise, someone asked me out this Monday. I was overjoyed and started acting like a kid till the moment I step out of camp. The night spent was meaningful and fantastic. How I wish such luck will dawn upon me again. Got to book in soon...Bye

Counting Crows

Been a long week as usual. Thinking back, I can't really remember what my previous book in was like. The past week in camp had alot of ATEC Stage 1 Prep going on. That amounts to alot of rushing here and there to get things done and to train up the section. Good thing is, I think they are well prepared.
Despite that, I did manage to find quite a due of free time to study Technical Analysis at night. Finally, NS life isn't totally about NS. I never wanted it that way. It restricts the meaning of time. I want to spend my time meaningfully and while NS is meaniful, I want my time with other things as well. Studying and reading Straits Times have become my new SOP for the days. Monday morning was probably the best I had. Was up at around 7+ with nothing to do and so I decided to twang in bunk. Tilted the tv towards my bed to watch CNA. All that I lacked was a cup of hot tea with me. Gotta replace the mug that I broke sometime back.
On Wed, we were out in TP4 for stage 1 prep. Cheemeng my SC suggested we go pick durians and pluck rambutans. So, 32A went around the entired TP4, stopping under rambutan trees that were flaming with riped fruits. We plucked like a hundred of them? and then went on to durians which was a greater favourite amongst us. Dismounted some 4 times at various locations and collected around 20 of them. large and small, they were great. Premium quality and much tastier then those up for sales in the marketplace. Probably due to the fact that they grew on natural fertilizers in the wild. Wild Durians. They were fantastic. trust me to that. So I returned to camp with a vehicle of fruits and had to gather additional help to carry them back to bunk. Haha.
Throughout the week, Pang and me have been desperately wanting to visit Wala Wala at holland Village for a good chill out night. Much to our dismay...well pang's greater disma...it never materialised. Instead on the 4 nights out I had last week, I watched Initial D and War of the Worlds. Sort of made a word to visit Foster with Juan. eh...when I free ba. Always free on the days when few are free...buts its still fun.
Friday saw a half day of for the NDP dudes. So I made my way out of camp and headed for home before I departed for the banks shortly after. Did some major restructuring to my saving accounts and did some investment in forex. It was already 430 when I got home and I had a dinner aranged at 7. So, poor me had no opportunity to watch my downloaded movies!! But all went well. Because...

I finally found time to go to town!! Yeah!!!.....................for 2 hours....

Spent less than a hour shopping but I found my Wolverine Origins graphic novel carefully hidden behind some other comics. Went to shop at wisma where I was suppossed to meet Juan. Flash and splash got me fired up for some clothing shopping so I kinda decided skip dinner. Haha. After dinner at Pizza tanglio, I realised how uncle me have a bad habit of spending money like tis coming out of a photo-copier. Spent around 90 that night? Thats excluding the 60 bucks that I now owe Pang for the summer one. Haha. Gonna wear that for exotic sunday morning sentosa trips. yeah yeah...

In fact, I still got a lot on my to buy list. But considering that I am gonna spend on liquor next month cos shuqi is coming back, maybe I should cut down a tad on my expenditure. Hope she remembers the southern comfort.

Came back at 8am today after 2 sleepless nights at kallang and jurong camp respectively. It was all movie marathon for me, watching sin city after cruel intentions. Adding to the ultimate relaxing experience is the chivas and rum mix which I had seperately. Oh...and did I not mention about that hair cut that I just had. Gosh, its definitely worth a revisit. The lady is great. That includes her haircut. Haha.
